iCloud email push notifications return to Germany

German iCloud users can now receive push email notifications again, Apple has confirmed. The feature was restored last night after a delay of more than 19 months, caused by a dispute with Google’s Motorola Mobility which forced Apple to deactivate the notifications. Apple reportedly had to post a $132 million bond to lift the injunction. A Munich court will hold an invalidation hearing Nov. 13 on the patent that caused the dispute. [via FOSS Patents]
